anyone tried the all-metal vivi's they have on EBN ??

You could just buy the metal tanks separately GJ if you've everything else . . . .

perps, I don't posess anything beginning with "vivi" it was just a thought, as the heads are only £5-odd for 5, but then the iclear ones aren't much different...

Those are 1.5 ohm ones. Personally I would get the 2.0ohm ones

I get mine from there. Those exact ones and they say 2.0 ohm on them so I always assumed they were what they said they were (if you get my drift).

They are listed as 1.5, but if are 2.0 then I'll get some

Are they these ones Gunjack ?
www.fasttech.com/products/1305000
I've had a pack of them on the go for about 5-6 weeks and they've been fine, recoiled a dozen times each I would think and I've not had any problems with them, in fact they are better than some authentic vision ones I had beforehand.
I use a bit of 2mm silica and four turns of .2mm kanthal to get about 1.8 ohms and they do vape fine for me mate, but I do recoil them every 3-4 days to keep them fresh, If they aren't hitting the spot for you then maybe the dual coil Iclears are the way to go? Take a deep breath mate and stick with it for now

yep, they are the ones alright.. think I'm going to try another one with the vaporbreak pre-made coils, wind it back a bit to closer to 2 ohm and see what happens...

[GunJack]

at last, a result

recoiled another head with vb coil @ 2.4 ohm, got a post with airflow, didn't tighten down the driptip too much....and bingo !!

what I have just noticed, though, in that 7-pack from fasttech there are two distinct types of clearo, distinguishable by the knurled part of the base having smaller "diamonds" in the knurl than the other, and the heads ARE NOT interchangeable between the two !! They LOOK almost the same, but closer inspection shows one type is slightly longer than the other, and the shorter ones don't work on the other posts

...more work required to get them ALL up and running

It's a case of what is genuine or not at the moment, so many knock off's that we have to question the supposedly genuine ones from our usual Vendors here in the UK. I would stick to our good old Vendors here in the UK, ok we may pay a little bit more but you have more of a chance that they will be the genuine article and have a good vape from them.  Just my opinion though.

it looks like all the ready-assembled iclears are 1.5 ohm, but the replacemant head packs of 5 (for 9 euro) come in 1.5 AND 2.0 ohm packs

Hmm now you had me doubting myself there so I've just checked the last 5 I got from them and 2 of them say 1.5 and 3 say 2.0   Not only am I doubting myself but I'm now ever so slightly confused.

Ah well, off to have a look at the ones listed on Fasttech

OP, I got so frustrated with CE5s that I have decided to give up with them. Some won't draw at all, some only draw if you unscrew them a bit from the battery. I probably got knock-offs, unintentionally, and these were from a UK seller too. I won't get any more hardware from that particular supplier. And I won't name & shame them. I ordered a kanger protank from Vape Escape this morning at 10 and I have just had an email saying it is already dispatched. Not used this supplier before, my, they are fast!
The protank should be a new and interesting experience. Reviewers mention that you have to clean them well before first use. I can go with that as long as they draw ok, vape ok and last more than a week or two!

Yes, +1 here. Arrived today, only ordered it yesterday. Very pleased with the protank they sent. (Airy as expected, but lots better than CE5s etc. IMHO.)
